The best vegan Caesar salad dressing recipe ever, with tahini, garlic, lemon and a sprinkling of salty capers. Creamy, oil-free and 100% WFPB.
A salad dressing that’s good for you ? You got it!
The Batman has been telling me that he misses his Caesar salads. You know I was immediately on the case starting to veganize it. Not only that but I wanted it to be whole foods plant-based, healthy, oil-free and super quick. Something I could literally whip up last minute and didn’t need any planning in advance.
Clearly soaking cashews like I do for the Alfredo sauce, or any nuts for that matter was not an option, instead I went for a creamy organic tahini paste that I always have on hand. No nuts this time!
It literally took me about 5 minutes start to finish!
You can use this Caesar salad dressing to dress any leafy greens you like. I mixed the classic crunchy romaine with some young nasturtium greens and blossoms since they are starting to show off in the garden. I simply can’t resist 🙂

I really wanted to pin this… but no link? Sadly, I know no other way.
Hi Kristy, I just pinned it myself and there’s most definitely a link. There is a red Pin button when you hover over the image and you can easily pin from there. I clicked over to Pinterest and was able to see the pin and noticed the link is at the top now. Let me know if you are still having issues with this ~ Florentina
